The pop star says intense physical training was essential to sustain the marathon-length performances.
Taylor Swift has shared details about the rigorous workout routine she used to prepare for her 3.5-hour Eras Tour shows, describing parts of the training as “horrible” and saying one exercise inspired “rage and resentment.”
Taylor Swift revealed that preparing for the physically demanding Eras Tour required an intense and disciplined workout routine designed to help her perform for more than three hours on stage each night. The singer described the training as necessary to meet the physical demands of the tour.
According to Swift, the routine included extensive cardiovascular conditioning and strength training. She said running while singing her full setlist was a key part of her preparation, allowing her to build endurance and breath control.
Swift described some parts of the workout as “horrible,” noting that the process was mentally and physically exhausting. She also joked that one specific movement — repeated running and incline training — inspired “rage and resentment” during sessions.
Despite the difficulty, Swift said the training paid off once the tour began. The Eras Tour features constant movement, choreography, and costume changes, making stamina a critical factor in delivering consistent performances.
Fitness experts note that marathon-length concerts require elite-level conditioning similar to that of endurance athletes. Swift’s preparation aligns with strategies used by performers who combine singing, dancing, and prolonged stage presence.
The Eras Tour has been widely praised for its length, production, and consistency, with Swift crediting preparation and discipline as key factors in sustaining the demanding schedule.
